NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) - The NOPD is looking for three suspects wanted for an early morning carjacking at the corner of Nashville Street and South Claiborne.

According to NOPD, about 1:50 a.m. the victim was stopped at the red light at the intersection of Nashville and South Claiborne avenues, when she was rear-ended by a gray four-door vehicle.

The car was occupied by three unknown black males. Two of the suspects exited the vehicle, spoke with the victim for a moment and begged her not to call the police. That's when one of the males jumped into the victim's vehicle and drove off. The second suspect returned to his vehicle and followed the victim’s vehicle down South Claiborne toward Calhoun Street and then disappeared.

All three of the males were described as young, in their early 20s, 5'9” tall, and having short black hair. One of the suspects was wearing a blue baseball cap and the other was wearing a white t-shirt. There is no description available on the third suspect.
